Ex-Amici dancer and contestant Michele Nocca has officially tied the knot with his Maltese husband John Azzopardi.

The couple shared stunning images of their big day, which also happened to coincide with the beginning of Malta’s Pride Month. 

In a celebration with a themed touch of Greek and Roman aesthetic for inspiration, Michele and John finally got to culminate their six and a half year long relationship into the wedding night of their dreams. 

The proposal had been made during the couple’s trip to Denmark, with Nocca going on to say that he is the ‘happiest man alive’ to finally get to share his life with John. 

The former Amici pupil revealed to Italian newspaper Novi TV that as a teenager he was afraid of not being able to marry his true love. ‘Instead, I finally got married to John, a gift sent from heaven in a dark and difficult moment’ he said.

The Malta Police Force has received 12 brand new 4×4 vehicles designed to be used by district and special branches police for the island’s rural areas. 

Bought for almost €500,000, the Ssangyong Musso vehicles were part financed from the European Fund for Internal Security. Police Commissioner Angelo Gafa, Home Affairs Minister Byron Camilleri and Parliamentary Secretary for EU funds Chris Bonett were also present during their unveiling at Ta’ Kandja police quarters. 

Through this investment our District officers will, for the first time, be equipped with these type of vehicles which facilitate access to areas which are not easily accessible, such as rural areas” said the police commissioner. 

“As we have recently done with Rapid Intervention Unit and Traffic vehicles, the livery design chosen for these vehicles is intended to increase visibility on the streets.”

Minister Byron Camilleri said that such an investment shows that the government is committed to empowering the police force. “In fact” he said, “we saw a 4% reduction in crime in the first six months of this year when compared to last year.”
